[Plugin] Universal Importer - v1.2.7 - 14 Nov. 2026

@panixia if i press claim missing textures, then import the obj object, I select the diffuse map and then it asks me to select again another missing texture. if i click the normal map, it asks me for a third texture and if select all three I receive an error. if i select the diffuse map every time again I receive an error.. any ideas?

[panixia]

@artemisglt does it happen with a specific model or with all models?

[artemisglt]

@panixia it happens with all the models, that is why I asked to see what I am doing wrong. I send the link to the initial model, I referred to, if you can have a look.

Hello, thank you for the community plugin, but I'm getting this error message when I try to import. It looks like you had someone else with a similar error about a year ago. Any solution?

[samuel_t]

@mblally Hello. You're welcome! This issue will be fixed in the next plugin version.

[sashapepperspray]

[samuel_t]

@sashapepperspray Most probably today or tomorrow.

What's new?

  Below is a STEP file imported with this option enabled.

• The CAD files import on Mac. Here's another STEP file imported on macOS Golden Gate (27).

• IGES colors are imported, thanks to OpenCascade and Mayo.

• Thanks to Assimp contributors, you shouldn't see anymore these errors:

  Failed to load [3MF] file: At least one mesh must be there
  Failed to load file: GLTF: Draco mesh compression not supported
  

• 3MF models with textures are supported. Note however texture mapping issues may occur.

• A "Soften Coplanar Faces" option is available. Enabled by default; it can be turned off in the plugin menu.

• You can import a model from the root of a drive where your documents are stored, thanks to the contribution of Eegee.

Hello Samuel
It's only an Importer for SketchUp or it can be used as a Standalone for any Progs as a converter ?
(Il vaut mieux s'adresser au bon dieu, qu'à ses saints!

@pilou Hello

This SketchUp plugin is of course tailored for SketchUp.
However you can use its underlying converters outside.
